Chapter 207: Back to the Academy
The next day, Wren woke up early.
He meditated, exercised, dined as usual, and then went about his official business, patiently waiting for the notice of Master Anthy in the castle.
Just after half of the morning, Fabian rushed in with a happy face and said loudly, "Congratulations, Lord Lord." ”
Wren closed the information in his hand, "What news did you hear?"
"Your Excellency, you know before I said it. Fabian habitually slapped his ass first, and then said: "There is news from Wezeland, Master Anxi held a ceremony today to accept Lord Lords as students, and now the people of the entire Modu have heard about it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Emilys and Pansil entered the study and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency. Pansil bowed.
"Wren, you'll be a student of the Holy Soul Wizard from now on!" said Emily's excitement.
Wren got up and nodded, and replied, "Thank you, two ladies." ”
Seeing that Wren was still calm, Emily shook her head with envy.
If you can also worship Master Anzai as a teacher and lean on this mountain, no matter how difficult things are, it will become easier.
For example, take back your own throne!
She thought about it, since she couldn't climb the relationship with the Holy Soul Wizard, it seemed that it would be a good choice to cling to the students of the Holy Soul Wizard.
Wren's strength, status, wealth, the combination of these conditions is unmatched by few people in the entire empire, even if he is as ugly as a goblin, there are countless women willing to dedicate themselves to compete for the title of Countess of Glamorgan.
What's more, Wren has an outstanding appearance and is the most handsome man she has ever seen!
If Wren can help him restore his country, he will definitely not lose by committing to him.
Thinking of this, Emily's face turned slightly red, and she quickly suppressed this seductive thought, but no matter how she tried to stop it, this thought could not be thrown away, like a ghost hovering in her mind.
Wren noticed the change in the color of Emilys' soul, but he didn't know exactly what she was thinking, so he smiled secretly and didn't care.
He chatted with everyone in his study, but outside the castle was bustling.
Every few minutes, a congratulatory letter arrives at the castle, all of which are powerful and famous from all walks of life in Mordo.
Fabian opened a few letters at random, and read them out with the eagerness of his words and the humility of his attitude, which was a little more elaborate than the letterhead of Wren when he officially became the Earl of Glamorgan last time.
"Fabian, don't read it. ”
Wren was given goosebumps by the content of a letter, and sarcastically said: "They all say that the Modu people are xenophobic, but I don't see it, but they are too enthusiastic." ”
"Haha, I'm afraid I'll never experience the feeling of being rejected in the future. ”
Fabian put away the envelope, and while flattering, he carefully sorted it out according to the identity and status of the letter.
Emilys and Pansil laughed along.
Wren was about to answer, when a servant knocked on the door and said excitedly, "My lord, there is a wizard outside, claiming to have come down from the Floating City. ”
"Well, I'm going to see him. ”
Wren went downstairs to the living room and saw a middle-aged wizard, and suddenly sneered in his heart.
This wizard he had seen, it was the staff member who received letters of recommendation and personal information at Wezeland Academy last time, and his attitude towards himself at that time was not very good, it can be said that he was very arrogant.
But at this moment, the other party stood up respectfully and shouted with a smile on his face: "Lord Earl." ”
"I'm Perry from Wizeland Academy, do you remember?"
"Of course, please take a seat. ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and he didn't have any hatred with the other party, Wren didn't want to care, and asked, "Did the teacher ask you to come?"
Perry was just about to sit down, when he heard Wren mention Anthy Vodaus, he quickly stood up straight again, and said seriously: "Yes, Your Excellency the Speaker asked me to inform your lordship that at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, I will attend the apprenticeship ceremony in the auditorium of the academy on time." ”
"What is the importance of this apprenticeship ceremony, you tell me. Wren looked at the time and asked casually.
Perry explained it in detail.
Formal apprenticeship is a tradition in the Empire, and not only in the Floating City of Wezeland, but also in the more ancient academies and wizards, when accepting students, a simple but solemn ceremony is held.
Apprenticeship ceremonies are held several times a year in the Floating City.
Every wizard who enters the tower of the Wezeland Academy, bowing under the door of a legendary wizard, goes through this ritual.
The process of the ritual is not complicated and the time is very short, but it will gather other wizards in the floating city to watch the ceremony, which can be regarded as a witness.
Perry told the whole process, and Wren was relieved to hear it.
It's much simpler than knighthood.
After all, it's a wizard who accepts apprentices, and there aren't so many tricks, so it's okay to get the meaning.
Near noon, Wren set off half an hour early, and he went alone without taking anyone with him.
Emily wanted to go to the ceremony, but was denied.
The Wezeland Academy forbids outsiders to enter, and even if she reaches the Floating City, she can't enter the Great Hall.
Perry took out the magic badge representing Wizeland in the atrium of the castle and cast a spell to open an arbitrary door.
Wren stepped through the door and appeared outside the gates of Wezeland Academy.
Perry said respectfully, "My lord, please come with me." ”
Entering the academy, because it was close to noon mealtime, the young apprentices were out of class, and the academy was full of people, and soon some apprentices recognized Perry and Wren beside Perry.
"Look, it's the Earl of Glamorgan. ”
"Wow, Lord Earl is so handsome!"
"He's about to become a student of His Excellency the Speaker, when will it be my turn?"
"You want to be beautiful!"
"Well, sooner or later I'll be in the Tower as well, just wait and see. ”
The apprentices along the road looked at Wren as if they were visiting a rare demon soul, and their eyes were full of curiosity and admiration.
Wren didn't need the sound of everything to hear the apprentices talking about him.
Especially when I heard those girls say that they are very handsome, I laughed a few times in my heart.
Last night, he tested the activated metal, and he deliberately adjusted his appearance slightly, removing all the small flaws that existed before, and it looked like there were few changes, but it achieved an amazing effect, and the aura was majestic and flawless.
Now it seems that the effect is outstanding!
As the apprentices watched, Wren followed Perry into the academy's auditorium.
Located at the foot of the Wezeland Tower, the Great Hall resembles a giant bowl that rises upside down on the ground. Entering through the main entrance and passing through the wide walkway, you can see the interior of the auditorium at a glance.
The interior of the circular auditorium is completely opened.
At the bottom of the middle is a platform with six tall seats, and the rows of seats around them are fanned out, one row higher than the other, so that you can see the platform below from any position.
Behind the platform there is a statue of the goddess of magic, more than twenty meters high, looking down on the entire auditorium.
Entering through the door of the auditorium, it happened to be directly opposite the statue.
Wren bowed to the idol and recited the prayer silently, then turned his head to notice that half of the seats in the auditorium were already seated.
"So many wizards!"
Wren inhaled secretly, it was the first time he had seen so many wizards gathered together, at least two hundred.
Every wizard here is an elite transcendent, there are fifty or sixty high-level wizards alone, and even there are three or four legendary wizards!
They are ranked according to their strength.
Legendary wizards sit in the first row, closest to the platform, followed by high-level wizards, and so on, while the weakest beginner wizards sit in the back row, farthest away.
At this moment, the entire auditorium fell silent.
All the wizards' eyes fell on Wren, scrutinizing him.
Rao is Wren has the will to truth, no matter how good his psychological quality is, being stared at by so many wizards, he still feels a little nervous and his scalp is numb in this kind of big scene.
On the surface, though, Wren was calm and composed, and he didn't lose his temper.
Osilia, who was sitting in the front row, nodded slightly, and Wren walked over, sat side by side with her, and whispered, "Celia." ”
"Well, here you are. Osiria answered, but did not speak.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was solemn, waiting for the arrival of the speakers, only bursts of whispering. Wren took this opportunity to open the Eye of the Soul and secretly observe the souls of the wizards present.
His gaze swept quickly, one by one he ruled it out.
Almost all wizards believe in the goddess of magic, but most are shallow believers, only a few are loyalists, and only a handful of fanatic believers are kept.
Some shamans are pan-believers, believing in multiple deities, including the god of justice and Mother Earth, or a weaker deity, such as the goddess of wealth and fate, and even a follower of the long-haired lady.
This situation is similar to Viola's, and it is not considered an anomaly.
"Didn't you?"
Wren spent a few minutes observing all the wizards, and found no one who was a fallen and had taken refuge in the Lord of the Necromancy.
This made him feel a little surprised, but also relieved, at least the floating city was safe.
Of course, not all the wizards in the Great Hall are all the wizards in the Floating City, probably only half, and many wizards are out of the house, or have something to do, and do not come to watch the ceremony.
But there is one phenomenon that is not normal.
Wren found out that there were nearly a quarter of wizards who were hostile to him!
He knew that he would definitely offend a group of wizards by killing Mytil, the student of Speaker Medra, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.
Mytiel's students, his close friends, and the wizards of Speaker Medra's line, would not have exceeded thirty in total.
But the wizards who are hostile to themselves, there are more than fifty at any time, which doesn't make sense at all.
"Does it have anything to do with the Mordu nobles?"
"Or are they all involved in the plot of Shield Island?"
Wren secretly guessed, taken aback by this guess.
If this is the case, then there are too many ghosts in the floating city, and even a quarter of the wizards have fallen to the camp of the Modu nobles!
Regardless of whether these wizards knew the inside story of the island shield, it showed that the Modu nobles had much more influence on the Floating City than they imagined.
"Damn, this is going to be infighting!"
Wren didn't forget to take pictures, and took pictures of all these people and made a record.
